Obituary

He is survived by Barb, his wife of 52 years, daughter, Sara Scholten, son and his wife, Patrick and Carolyn Scholten, grandson, Jacob Scholten, and sister, Esther Robberts.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Geneva DeBoer and nephew, Ken DeBoer.

Rog was employed for many years at American Aerosol/Guardsman, then was owner and President of Effective Flow Ideas (EFI), and worked 20+ years for Metzger Conveyors. He was a man dedicated to work and family, and strived for excellence in life.

Rog was a "people person" who always enjoyed meeting new people and enjoyed time with friends. He always "talked" about retiring, but never found the time, as the love of the next challenge was always there.

The one place he always found time for relaxation was Beaver Island. It was a true place of solace for him and Barb. Rog's eyes always lit up when telling of their adventures exploring the natural beauty of Beaver Island, and the peacefulness enjoyed while reading.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that contributions be made to either Hospice of Holland or the First Presbyterian Church of Holland.

Family and friends are invited to the Celebration of Rog's Life on Wednesday, August 23 between 4 and 7pm at Spectators Bar and Grill, Saugatuck, MI.
The family is being served by Langeland-Sterenberg Funeral Home. www.langelandsterenberg.com.
